Today on my way out I stopped off at a park to eat my breakfast/lunch around 11.  In the distance I could hear a radio but didn't realize it was coming from inside the park until a few minutes later.  I walk over and it's a radio that many old men carry around with them.  Why was it left behind? Especially left playing.  Who knows, but it was some cool entertainment.  I sat down, and took this while eating my 'bag' of salad. It reminded me of the scene in Saving Private Ryan towards the end when they're sitting down and listening to a record play. It had that scratchy a.m. sound.  The song fit too, it was like, pre- Enka, maybe Okinawa, I'm not sure.  Either way, it was rather eerie.  I didn't see another person the entire time. 

oh, and McDonalds in Japan are really different
